Default Crack In Tail Lights = Fixable???

As stated... there's a crack in my drivers side tail light. Its a minor crack but its still there... I was wondering if there was anything I could use to make the crack go away or something? Like to fix it?

not deep at all... just a slight crack from dropping it before putting it on.

If it's a crack, leave it. Get some epoxy and smear a little bit on it so it won't leak or won't be prone to cracking/breaking even more. If it's a chunk missing, get a new one. Most states don't pass you with just tape on it. You'll need a new lense.

You can actually fix cracks. Put a tiny bit of bondo over the crack, sand smoothly, and use stained glass paint to paint your tail lights again.

go to your autoparts store, they should have a sticker type thing made for cracked taillights.
